Will this work on my iPod

Bought these last time they were up. Great headphones but the "leather" liner peeled off after about two weeks....still comfy though...

These are a Piece of !@#$

I w00ted these before and I really regret it. They are so damn HUGE! the card is thick like a power cord and stiff. The sound isn't even good. I don't understand.

Save your $$$

1. They are just showing both colors.

Maybe they work OK, but I've been in broadcasting for thirty six years, and have never heard of them. I don't think they are "professional". Nobody in the business would use twenty dollar headphones.

I got these last wootoff. They're extremely comfortable and great to wear for a long time. plus the sound quality is pretty good. i use them all the time, especially with games and movies. the microphone is a clip on lapel mic type thing.

I bought a pair of these during a woot-off a while ago.

Nice sound, but they're frickin' HUGE!!!

I bought them to take apart and put the speakers in my motorcycle helmet, but I think they're too big for that. I keep them at my desk at work so I can listen to some tunes, and virtually everyone in my office has made comments to the effect of me being in a recording studio...

"Over-sized circumaural leather muffs "

We have seen these before, my friends.

Second that. I bought two pair in a previous Woot! The vinyl liner on one headband has already flaked off. Also, the cord is long; but, very stiff so it tends to stay bunched up and gets in your way. I use them for camera work, so I like the big, noise-reducing muffs and the dynamic range is fine for hearing what the camera "hears". Can't say how well they work with music; but, I imagine they sound fine if you're listening to MP3s.

yep yep

I have the same issue, flaky leather...looks like black dandruff

brush yo' shoulders off

review here. http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=6315

Got these last time. Very comfortable and great sound (I use them to listen to music, not play games). They are HUGE though, but I only use them at my computer. You're not going to want to use these walking around or anything.

Haven't had any problems with the padding flaking.

i bought these for a lil more last woot... don't regret it one bit. excellent sound. the leather wraping on my band also came loose, but still worth it. extra long cord... i lsiten to these just about every night and they are very comfy.

Terrible cans.

If you are going to use these with a computer... Go with the Medusa Pro-Gamer v2's. They will run you about $120, but they are worth every penny. Best headphones I've ever owned or tried.

Cheap clip-on microphone. Plastic, broke 2nd day I had it.

Other than that, great headphones. Never could find the right spot to put the mic. Its either overmodulated or too faint to hear, the pickup 'cone' vacuums. Even worse in Ventrillo or Teamspeak

Sounds better than my cordless Sennheisers, also from woot.

I'd be in for there more if the mic didnt suck.

Extremely satisfied with this product from the last woot, and the price is outstanding.

I say go for it. You won't regret the awesomeness you'll feel with these massive nuggets on at your computer.

I got a set of these on Woot a few months back. They're not bad for the price if you don't mind the enormous size and the awkwardly stiff cord.

sorry doesne't work with ipod or any mac products. linux only.

The sound quality is good, and they are comfortable enough. Your ears can get hot on hot days. Another drawback is the cord. It is thick and very long. If you are planning to use this with an MP3 player you'll have to roll up the cord and band it with a rubber band.

They are HUGE. But I like that look. Like a Brooklyn DJ. Most of my friends think they are bad-arse HUGE and like them.

I have not had the "flaking" issue others have experienced. I wear mine 40 hours a week in tough work conditions (I sweat a lot and work in a cloud of wood dust) and they are still like new (perhaps the flaking is caused by acidity from the skin. Some people have more acidity than others).

I have small ears so they fit nicely in the sound hole. My work environment is very loud and these headphones do a good job of blocking external noise. I listen to radio news mostly, and these phones reproduce voice sound very well.

Before these I had an over-the-ear, noise-canceling style which did not block external noise well, did not reproduce radio voice well, and were painful to wear more than 5 hours continuously. However, they kept my ears and head cooler than these Everglides.

Was hopeful was two since we all missed out on the Twofer on Tues thanks to the woot-off.

Got these once as well. Very comfortable, good for extended periods (they were priceless when ignoring my roommate for months and months). Plastic covering on the headband cushion peeled off, but doesn't make much of a difference to me. In my opinion, they have good sound, and some nice bass response. Good with games as well, as expected. Decent sound muffling, but I think sound from the headphones is easily heard.

I bought them when they were like $30, and I don't regret it yet.

The worst thing about them is the size of them compared to my head. I have a small head.

There good headphone but it vacuums the mic isnt attached.

llo woot, well done on the description!

I have these and they're great--they do get a bit uncomfortable after 3 hours or so though once the leather causes the area around your ears to sweat.

i wanted a decent pair of headphones for 20 bucks, and i got that with these, i was really happy with them. there are a lot of fans running in my house, and these block the white noise sooo well.

they ARE HUGE though.


HUGE.

i feel i got my money's worth, and love them. for 20 bucks, these cannot be beat.

I got these last time around, they're ridiculously huge, no joke. but for gaming or just listening to music at home, they're GREAT.

I've had a lot of headphones and these definitely match up to some of the $150 models by Sony and Sennheiser

would you be able to plug it into an MP3 player. namely a psp. IU need some loud, noise cancelling headphones for those long train rodes

Bought these to wear while mowing the lawn. They surround the ear well enough to keep the riding mower noise out, they're comfortable and sound decent enough. I'd buy them again, either for myself or as a gift.

Circumnatural.

mmmmm...

BLEEP it!! WE ARE DOING IT LIVE!!! BLEEP it!!

Thats all I could think after reading the discription. LMAO

Bought these about 4 months ago on woot. Great sound for music, I dont' do gaming so I can't attest to that aspect. "Leather" peeled off for me as well. They are LARGE and the cord is thick but in return durable, it can be a little annoying. I use them at work and they block out the sound of my neighbors very well. I would definately buy again, and am thinking of getting a second pair for home use.

I'm wearing these right now and I love them. They're comfortable and the sound is great. I modified the connector to fit in my 1st gen iPhone.

They dont retail for $20. And 'pro' has a wide meaning.

I wouldn't trust a Firestone or Goodyear shop to do repairs on my vehicle, but they are "professionals" too.

These are far better quality than the $20. I own a pair and not a 'pro', but good enough to hear the difference between tube amps and mosfet, and good sound from bad. These are great for $20 except the mic and its clip are supersuck.

yeah, but you'd look ridiculous wearing them in public :P they're HUGE.
